The Market in 2026

Temporary works sits at the sharp end of buildability: excavation support, formwork, falsework, propping and crane bases. BS 5975 competence requirements and main contractor governance mean qualified coordinators and designers are consistently scarce — and rarely advertised well on generic job boards.
